Odell Beckham Jr. signs a fan's homemade jersey

Sports Illustrated's autograph clip draws an unusually large early audience for a small act of fan improvisation.

OBJ Couldn't Say No to This Fan's Homemade Jersey 😂 #nfl #odellbeckhamjr

The fan didn't have an Odell Beckham Jr. jersey, so they improvised. Sports Illustrated's short shows the receiver signing the makeshift version, giving its owner an autograph on something rather more personal than official merchandise.

The clip reached about 29,000 views in its first eleven hours. A typical Sports Illustrated Short draws around 1,700 over its entire first day, so this encounter was already well beyond the channel's usual start.

Beckham's most famous football moment involved improvisation of a different sort: his one-handed touchdown catch for the New York Giants against Dallas in 2014. Here, the attraction is off the field, with a homemade jersey getting the same signature a store-bought one might.
